Filipinos came to the Washington D.C.shortly after the 20th century. There was limited research for the Filipinos of Washington D.C. before the late-1980's according to President of the Rita Cacas Foundation, Rita Cacas. Majority of the young pinoys -- as they were known among their communities -- migrated to the west coast, but the pinyos who did not want to work on farms, moved to the east (Washington D.C.).
